Doctors Without Borders: "The CPT (CPT=centri di permanenza temporanea - literally translated: centres of temporary sojourn/stay, actually removal centres) in Turin, Trapani (Sicily) and Lamezia Terme (Calabria) have to be closed, the immigrants are not even provided with a minimum of dignity". But the situation in the other centres is not better:"The right of asylum is amply violated and there is abuse of drugs used in treatment of mental conditions (psicofarmaci)".

Im ehemaligen Transitland Polen wird der Vorschlag diskutiert, Lager einzurichten, um tschetschenische Flüchtlinge »aufzufangen«.

Auffanglager für Flüchtlinge außerhalb der EU sind etwas, wovon nicht nur die Länder träumen, die an der südlichen Grenze der Union liegen. Die Festung soll von allen Seiten gesichert werden, und die nächste Front der Abschottung ist der Osten. Was passiert zum Beispiel mit den tschetschenischen Flüchtlingen, die in den östlichsten Staaten der EU um Asyl bitten? Während in den letzten Jahren ein Großteil der Flüchtlinge aus Tschetschenien vorwiegend in Staaten der russischen Föderation geflohen ist, stieg im vergangenen Jahr nach Angaben des UN-Flüchtlingskommissariats (UNHCR) der Auswanderungsdruck nach Norden und Westen, in die baltischen Staaten, die Ukraine sowie nach Polen.

Laissez-faire, Dilettantismus und böser Wille: Flüchtlinge werden auf der Mittelmeerinsel einfach weggesperrt

Beinahe 800 Flüchtlinge sind in diesem Jahr in Malta gelandet. Auf der kleinen Insel ist die Aufregung gross: «Wissen Sie, was das für Malta bedeutet? Stellen Sie sich vor, in Italien wären 80 000 illegale Einwanderer angekommen», sagt Joe Azzopardi, Informationschef im Innenministerium. «Asylkrise», titelte der «Malta Independent on Sunday», nachdem Anfang September in einem Lager für Asylsuchende ein Tunesier einen Landsmann umgebracht hatte.

Fire and racism at Yarl's Wood: reports published

Two reports on events at Yarl's Wood detention centre near Bedford were published by the prison ombudsman Stephen Shaw. The first found that the accounts of racism among guards exposed by a Daily Mirror journalist, who worked in the centre soon after it reopened in late 2003, were true, but there was no proof of institutional or systematic racism.

Tegretol 200, Gardenale, fenibarbital, carbamazepina these are the sedative and antiepileptic substances found in the blood of three migrants that since december 2003 are shut in the detention center of Bologna. The new has been circulating for long time among associations, comitees, observators and lawyers. Everyone knows that inside these lager are used barbiturates to calm migrants waiting for deportation but it’s not easy to collect the witnesses as they are people that go out from the centre only to be deported. But this time there are evidences so that the power of attorney has made an inquiry that has brought to five hour searching inside the structure. This has brought to investigate on the food given in the centre. The detention centre under charge is already under inquiry for the charges of heavy beatings from the police after that some migrants tried to escape on 2nd March 2003. From that time no one has tried to escape anymore, and suddenly all the migrants became gentle. The three migrants (one of them was called the mummy because he didn’t react to anyone) this time have not been deported and could tell their story inside the structure, denouncing to their lawyers the sanitary situation, about food and denied assistance but most of all, of headache, nausea, reduced sensibility of the perceptive capacities and of a strange sleeping sense after having eaten at lunch or dinner. The detention centre is administrated by the Red Cross, police and carabinieri have to keep order and control. Obviously the leadings of the structure deny each charge. In the afternoon on the 20 January some desobedients have occupied the office of the Red Cross in Bologna to denounce this situation and the heavy responsabilities of the people who manage the centre.

In Italien gibt es seit Ende 1998 Centri di Permanenza Temporanea, kurz CPT (engl: detention centre), ähnlich den deutschen Abschiebeknästen. In Deutschland gibt es seit 1998 – neben den bereits bestehenden Abschiebeknästen und Flüchtlingssammellagern - Modellversuche für Abschiebe-Sonderlager, die jetzt als "Ausreisezentren" bundesweit verbreitet werden sollen.
